Transforming Cashless Gaming in the UK

We’re excited to announce a major development in the evolution of cashless gaming in the UK, VMA Systems has entered into a strategic partnership with OKTO Payments, a leading provider of real-time digital payment solutions for the gaming industry.

As of 1st October, VMA has taken over the back-end services supporting OKTO’s UK operations. This move will see us connecting the UK’s gaming machine estate to the OKTO pay direct system, ensuring that non-cash payments on gaming machines are now simple, safe, and fast.

A Smarter, Safer, More Connected Payment Future

This partnership is about much more than replacing coins and notes. By combining OKTO’s secure digital wallet with VMA’s technology ecosystem, we’re enabling operators and suppliers to:

• Deliver a frictionless cashless experience to players.
• Maintain continuous uptime across machines through real-time diagnostics and alerts.
• Enhance compliance with AI-powered AML (Anti-Money Laundering) tools.
• Access actionable insights through live analytics and monitoring.

Supporting Integration at Every Level

To make adoption easy and scalable, we’re also providing:

• An intuitive web portal for suppliers, designed for simple onboarding, management, and performance tracking.
• A powerful API for seamless integration into your internal systems, enabling you to automate and streamline operations.
• Full integration with our OneOS platform, delivering end-to-end visibility, reporting, and control across your machine estate.

Driving Adoption of OKTO in the UK Market

VMA will be actively supporting the expansion of OKTO across the UK, working with machine operators, venues, and suppliers to integrate this powerful new payment solution. With our proven backend infrastructure and over a decade of experience in the amusement and gaming industry, we’re well-placed to ensure a smooth and impactful rollout.

Whether you manage hundreds of sites or a small estate, this partnership is designed to make cashless gaming work for you, with security, speed, and simplicity at its core.
